Zalamit Speaking Club Form: https://forms.gle/BHoktFS9dXnbuCQn8Text: We Make a Good Team"Soraia and Fatma worked in the same advertising company. They were great teammates. One day, their boss called them into his office. He said it was urgent. “Brace yourself, this is gonna be bad.” said Fatma to Soraia “We have a big project,” he said. “Bimo wants a new ad campaign. We need something fun and exciting to show why people love their biscuits! Oh, also, they want it by Sunday!” Soraia clapped her hands. “That sounds amazing!” Fatma nodded. “But also a little scary. We don’t have much time.” Soraia smiled. “Don’t be a wet blanket! This is a great opportunity to showcase our talent. Let’s be positive!” They got to work right away. Soraia sketched ideas for posters and videos. She was the artistic one. She drew smiling kids dunking Bimo biscuits into their cups of milk. Fatma wrote catchy slogans like “Bimo: The Taste of Childhood,the Taste Happiness!” By the end of the day, they had lots of great ideas. “This is going to be amazing!” Soraia said. The next morning, disaster struck. Soraia opened her laptop and gasped. “Oh no! The designs are gone!” Fatma rushed over. “What happened?” “I don’t know! Maybe my computer crashed.” Fatma took a deep breath. “Good thing I prepared for the worst. I saved everything on my USB drive. I knew something bad would happen.” Soraia sighed in relief. “Fatma, you’re a lifesaver! I guess it pays to be a little bit pessimistic ha.” They quickly got back to work. They made bright posters and a fun video showing a multi-generational family sharing Bimo biscuits during afternoon coffee. Even the famous mug with Noah’s Arch was there.” On Sunday, they presented their ad campaign to their boss. He watched the video and smiled. “This is perfect! Bimo will love it!” Soraia and Fatma hugged each other. “We did it!” Fatma grinned. “And we learned an important lesson—always have a backup plan.” Soraia laughed. “Yes! I’m the glass half full, you’re the glass half empty and together we make an excellent, realistic, safe, wonderful glass haha. We make a good team.” A week later, Bimo’s new ads were everywhere—on TV, on billboards, and on social media. Soraia and Fatma felt proud of their work.
